You can't get anybody out. Everett relief pitcher Philip Roy (0-2) had it Wednesday at Civic Stadium. He entered a tie game in the sixth inning, faced six batters and all six reached base and scored in Eugene's 15-5 Northwest League win. Roy walked the leadoff batter, hit a batter, gave up three straight singles and walked another batter before giving way to Kyle Brown, who started his outing by surrendering a two-run double. Roy's earned run average rocketed from 9.82 to 24.52. Brown walked four batters in the seventh and all four came around to score. Overall, AquaSox pitchers walked 10 batters. Bo Davis was a nemesis for Everett, reaching base six times and scoring five runs in six plate appearances. Davis led off the first inning with a triple and scored on a groundout. In the third, he drew a leadoff walk, stole second and came home on a one-out single by Jason Hagerty. In the fifth, he led off with a double, stole third with one out and scored on Vincent Belnome's two-out home run, his third of the season. In the sixth, he had a two-RBI single, a stolen base and scored on a double by Hagerty. He walked and scored on a single by Nathan Freiman in the seventh. And he had an infield single in the eighth. Everett (6-6) jumped on the Eugene bullpen to tie the score at 4-4 in the top of the sixth. Jose Rivero drew a leadoff walk against reliever Mauricio Tabachnik. An out later, Ryan Royster singled to leftt, sending Rivero to third. Eugene (5-7) totally botched returning the ball to the infield. Left fielder Matt Vern was charged with a throwing error on the play, allowing Rivero to score, and Hagerty dropped the throw home, allowing Royster to reach third. Mario Martinez singled to drive in Royster, and Avila singled to send Martinez to third. Gary Poynter replaced Tabachnik and induced Juan Fuentes to ground into a force out on Avila at second. But Martinez scored the tying run on the play. The Frogs scored a run off Poynter (1-0) in the seventh on a sacrifice fly by Royster. It took the AquaSox a while to get to Eugene starter Chris Wilkes. He retired 12 of the first 13 batters he faced, yielding only a one-out single to Royster in the first inning. But Fuentes led off the fifth with a single to center, took second on a passed ball, tagged and moved to third on a fly out and scored on a clutch, two-out single by Ben Billingsley. That made it 2-1 Eugene. READER COMMENTS Be the first to comment. You must be a registered user and verify your e-mail address to post comments to blogs or articles on HeraldNet.
